    Story of my life!!!
    20 months and 3 days sober, thank God for the love of a woman to get my head out of my ass. I did indeed squander my chance with her but her influence saved my life!
    Plenty of regrets but damn it feels good to be sober. !
    To all who struggle, it isn't easy but its worth it. !

    Lost my dad from cocaine laced fentanyl in August, he struggled with addiction my whole life. Using, In and out of jail and prison. I love him tremendously regardless unconditionally. Growing up it was just us. Him and me. This was the last song we ever listened to together, I put it on and told him it was his song. He cried. I used with him as a teenager, but I have been clean 16 years now. I stopped the cycle.

    This song hit home so hard that I cry every time I listen to it. I'm a recovering meth addict, clean just 6 months. It cost me my children, my marriage, my career as a nurse and everything else that I held dear. If you're a recovering addict, you're NOT alone!! By God's hand and the love of my children I am still alive.

      I have done cocaine many times in a church parking lot in between my home and my friends lake front home he had at 18 years of age. We always stopped there to get our fill before we walked into his lake house where the party was waiting. Thank God I got away from the coke thatedto smoking crack snorting lines while waiting to hit the pipe again and using oxycontin as a crutch in between buying my cocaine.

      @sharonbailes8210 11 месяцев назад

      Adonai has kept you in this world. Sometimes we have to go through struggles and hardship. I have found almost all of us that have struggled with addiction is because we have been battling something broken inside of us. With Elohim, our creator. We can heal and our God needs us to help each other. That's why we are still here. After I lost my Dad, husband and sister in nine months, all I did was pray for God to let me go to sleep and never wake up. That wasn't His plan. We have to lay it at His feet. He has a plan for everyone of us. It's His will not ours. He will reveal that plan to you. You are so very important, that's why He created you. Lean on Him. I blamed myself for my husband's death. I couldn't except that he overdosed and I started doing meth at 45. I recently got out of prison, was down for a year. I've been sober for 15 months. It's wonderful, I'm high on life because I forgave myself and quit blaming myself. The key ...learn how to love yourself. He created you and that means you are precious. My prayers to you for healing.

I’m not big on using the words clean, sober for myself. I changed my life for 13 years and well, hit me by surprise. I want to be like all of you again. I read the comments to think harder about where my life is right now. Hopefully one of these days I’ll get back on track. I’m in a bad way, pretty broken. Too much has happened this past 6 years. I’m trying to make sense of it all. I will get it together again, I’ve got to. I have 2 Harleys collecting dust. I just want to wake up one day and not hurt so much. Thanks for listening

      My son was a heroin addict for years and OD and almost died 2 times. So I can relate in a small way to what you went through... The public is stupid about this stuff. They think all you have to do is have enough willpower and you are done. And maybe you did... good for you. But my son required rehad…. otherwise he would be dead. Willpower is part, but it is much bigger than just willpower. I am proud of you Jesse. Don't ever fuck with drugs EVEN a single time or the monkey will be back. The only outcome of these drugs is misery and eventually death. Seriously don't even experiment for a single time. You are sober now, stay sober. DONT FUCK WITH FENTANYL LACED HEROIN EVER AGAIN. GOD BLESS

    I listen to this song everyday to remind me of everything that I lost while using. I had a family a business and a comfortable living.. I passed it all away until I was homeless for 3 years. Then I heard this song I'm coming up a have an apartment, a car, and I'm building a new business that has been strong for a year now. I used to say you don't have to be perfect to be a perfect solution, you just have to show up. I'm glad I showed up. The perfect solution wasn't me, it was Jamey Johnson with this song and the man will never know it. So show up. You may not ever know but you are someone's perfect solutions. Thanks for the personal stories it makes the day start off great knowing there are so many of us getting through the day together. Keep showing up and keep crushing your demons.

    My dad played this song a lot, never quite understood until now. I'm 22 now and I've never done or even looked at any kind of drug. I never drank, still don't. My father raised me to be strong willed and tough. As hard as my life has been throughout it's short time, I never turned to a bottle or blunt for help or clarity. I don't know what it feels like for all of my pain to just suddenly fade away, but at least I know that nothing nice comes free. It has a cost, and it cost my father everything and then some. Don't get me wrong, I'd love for all my worries and pain to go away, but that makes me a coward because I'm to scared to take on the responsibilities of being a person/father. Pain is what let's us know we're alive, it's time we just embraced it.
    Good luck to anyone recovering. I know it's hard, but keep fighting the good fight.

    I’ve been an outlaw biker since 1983, so needless to say, this songs message is a strong one for me.
    I changed that part a long time ago.
    I’m 57 now, get up at 4, instead of going to bed at 4.
    Thanks Jamie,
    Very meaningful song
